How to use

Mark the desired hole position and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Fit the 8 mm Bosch brad point bit into a compatible drill chuck ensuring the cylindrical shank is seated firmly. Start drilling at low speed to allow the centring tip to engage, then increase speed as needed while applying steady, moderate pressure. Withdraw the bit occasionally on deeper holes to clear chips and avoid clogging.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses and hearing protection) and a clamp or vise to secure the workpiece. For best results in hardwood, use a slower drill speed and retract the bit periodically to remove chips. Store the bit in a protective case to preserve the cutting edges.
